The Fudan University Affiliated Cancer Hospital carried out routine nucleic acid testing for the new coronavirus on outsourced logistics personnel of the hospital, and found that a sample of 10 people was tested suspiciously.
In the early morning of January 21, the sample of Case 1 was reviewed by the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the nucleic acid test result was positive.
Case 2, Zhou Moumou, male, 53 years old, a neighbor in the same community as Case 1.
Case 3, Tian Moumou, female, 48 years old, is a friend of Case 1.
According to the research and decision of the Municipal Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters, the Zhaotong residential area of Huangpu District (the area south of Fuzhou Road) is listed as a medium-risk area, and the risk level of other areas in Shanghai remains unchanged.
[Explanation] Zuo Yimei, deputy mayor of Huangpu District, Shanghai, revealed at the meeting that the relevant community has already implemented closed management, but because the area belongs to the old city, after careful consideration, it was decided to organize people to stay in the hotel for centralized closed management.

This area belongs to the old town, and the house structure belongs to the old town below the second level. The long-term closed management of the community will cause great inconvenience to the lives of the residents living in it. Taking into account these reasons, the district committee and the district government made a careful decision. Prepare to adopt centralized closed management for residents staying in hotels.
At present, we have organized more than 80 community cadres to come door by door in the community to inform the relevant situation, and start the closed-loop transfer to the hotel in batches.
[Explanation] Zhang Wenhong, head of the Shanghai New Coronary Pneumonia Clinical Treatment Expert Team, said that this case was discovered during active screening. Race against the virus to achieve "dynamic zeroing" is the key to stopping the spread of the virus.

"Fast" has always had two aspects: one is "I am fast" and the other is "you fast".
"I am fast" means that I am fast after taking the initiative to screen, and "you fast" means that you have a fever and you go to the hospital.
If you have a fever, you don't go to the hospital. You can take a few days to get the anti-fever medicine. When you find that it is not working, you will actually let us lose the opportunity to respond quickly.
[Explanation] Zhang Wenhong said that from the current test data, the nucleic acid test of the close contacts of the confirmed persons are all negative, indicating that the close contacts and confirmed cases have usually achieved the "three-piece suit" of wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and less gathering. Call on the public to continue to maintain these habits and have confidence in controlling the Shanghai epidemic in the coming weeks.

This time we will run faster than the virus, which means that in the next few weeks, we are sure of controlling this epidemic.
The Chinese New Year is about to come. Through this epidemic, I personally have confidence in Shanghai. This confidence makes me believe that we can have a peaceful Spring Festival.
